[HODHODYEMENNEWS] At least nine Zionist settlers were maimed in a heroic operation carried out by a Paleostinian on Sunday morning , in the Old City of occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem), in retaliation to the continuous crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Paleostinians.
Paleostinian media reported that a Paleostinian youth shot at a bus carrying Zionist settlers near the al-Buraq Wall, the western wall of al-Aqsa Mosque in the town, wounding nine of them.
The Paleostinian resistance factions affirmed that this heroic and brave operation is a response to the attacks of the occupation forces and settlers and their daily crimes against the Paleostinian people and their Islamic and Christian holy sites, and their continuous incursions into al-Aqsa Mosque.
They affirmed that Jerusalem has been and will remain the eternal capital of Paleostine, and that the resistance will continue until liberation and defeat of the occupation.
5 Americans — including NYC family — among victims in Jerusalem shooting
[NYPOST] Five Brooklyn residents — a pregnant woman and a family of four — were among the eight victims of a Paleostinian terrorist who opened fire on a bus in Jerusalem on Sunday, according to reports and officials.
The pregnant woman, who is from Borough Park, suffered abdominal injuries and is hospitalized at death's door, according to Israeli hospitals.
The shooting occurred as the bus was sitting in a parking lot near the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site.
US ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides confirmed that Americans were among the wounded.
“Deeply saddened to confirm that Americans were injured in this attack,” Nides said in the Twitter post. “I’ve spoken with the families and will keep them in my prayers.”
The family of four is from Williamsburg and had arrived in Israel on Wednesday. They were en route to a site known as David’s Tomb in the eastern part of the city, according to Yeshiva World News.
Another victim of the attack is hospitalized at death's door, although it’s not clear if that person is among the maimed Brooklynites. He is a man who suffered gunshot wounds to the head and neck, hospital officials said.
The suspected shooter — who has surrendered to police — is an Israeli citizen born in 1996, CNN reported, citing a security source. The New York Times reported he is a Palestinian resident of Silwan, a neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
A rep for Hamas commended the “heroic operation” against the “arrogance of the occupation’s soldiers and extremist settlers,” according to the Washington Post, but the group did not claim responsibility for it.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was stunned by the shooting.
“I’m horrified by the terror attack in Jerusalem, and by the news that a family of New Yorkers has been impacted,” she tweeted.
“My team is making contact with @StateDept to assist however possible. We condemn terror and stand with the Israeli people as they seek peace.”
The attack came a week after Israeli aircraft carried out an offensive in the Gaza Strip targeting the militant group Islamic Jihad, igniting three days of intense cross-border fighting.
Islamic Jihad in turn fired hundreds of rockets during the flare-up, which killed two of its commanders and other militants. Israel said the attack was aimed at preventing threats from the group that it would respond to the arrest of one of its officials in the occupied West Bank.
Forty-nine Palestinians, including 17 children and 14 militants, were killed and several hundred injured in the fighting, which ended with an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire.
No Israeli was killed or seriously injured in the Gaza conflict.
